A few of the most common grades of steel plates and sheets are:

• A36 - a low carbon steel with good strength, formability that can be securely welded with a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI

• A572-50 - higher strength steel with a minimum yield of 50,000 PSI and increased corrosion resistance

• A516-70 - steel with a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 PSI that is generally used in pressure vessels and boilers

• AR400 -  abrasion resistant, quenched and tempered alloy steel with a high level of hardness, making it brittle and so it is not intended for structural applications

• A588 - also known as Corten, this steel weathers well, forming a stable rust-like appearance that eliminates the need for painting

• A1011 - a hot-rolled carbon steel alloy primarily used for sheets with high strength and formability

 

Yield strength is the amount of force that can be withstood before permanent deformation.

Tensile strength is the amount of force required to pull something (like a sheet of steel) to the point where it breaks.

There are many other grades of steel plates and sheets with specialized properties.
